French President Emmanuel Macron’s allies are set to lose their majority in parliament after today’s elections, dealing a major blow to the centrist leader and his second-term program, projections from five polling firms show.
Macron’s “Ensemble” (Together) coalition is on track for 200-260 seats, short of the 289 needed for a majority in the National Assembly.
The left-wing NUPES alliance is set to win 149-200 seats, while Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally makes major gains and is on course for 60-102 seats.
